Hey Harlemites!
Don’t forget to spread the word and tell your friends to check out Red Tails in theatres this weekend. The film did great last weekend but this weekend is important too. Let’s show our support.
For those who don’t yet know, the film is an account of the Tuskegee Airmen, an all-black World War II fighter pilot squad. The squadron, which was sent to North Africa and Italy to escort white bomber pilots, consisted of some of the best fighter pilots in the Air Corps.

A group of us were taking a co-worker out to lunch for her birthday and decided to try Creole on Third Ave at 118th Street. I knew of Creole as a local night spot with good food, Salsa music on Tuesdays, blues on Thursdays and a variety of local artists on the weekends but I had never been there for lunch. It turned out to be a great choice. They have a terrific selection of lunch specials – the blackened shrimp and the barbecue chicken were particular favorites. Not only was the food tasty, the staff was wonderful. They welcomed us like family – all 11 of us! We were also impressed by a health promotion they were running – “Save Half for Later” a campaign to promote smarter, healthier eating habits to help prevent and control obesity and diabetes. Kudos to Creole for their food, service and community-mindedness!

With the increase in the aging, disabled, and chronically ill populations, there is an expanding need for caregivers. Families are faced with the daunting task of locating, employing, and leaving their loved ones in the hands of someone who may or may not have been adequately trained. Relatives who elect to provide this form of care to family members are often subjected to elevated levels of stress, leading to burnout.
Assemblyman Keith L.T. Wright and The Visiting Nurse Service of New York will host a free workshop on “Preventing Caregiver Burnout” for family caregivers on Wednesday, August 24, 2011. If you or someone you know is in a similar situation, this seminar will provide resources and ways of coping with the demands associated with this role.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Kara Hughett at 212-561-7424 or Kara.Hughett@Morris-King.com.

Children from Kenya and Harlem unite together through song. Youngsters from both sides of the Atlantic are blending their voices and their cultures together for a very unique summer camp in the heart of Harlem. The children are from Kenya and Harlem and together they are part of a group called the Jirani Cultural Organization. It was founded by the Rev. Tae Jong Rim after he witnessed young children in Nairobi picking through a trash heap for food. He started an after school program in Kenya to teach needy African children how to sing what he calls “The Unstoppable Song Of Hope”.

By tharealharlemista The oppressive heat in Harlem this week is no joke. Go into the 125th st subway station and it feels like you’re bathing in Hell. Bring a fan. And lots of water.
Hopefully some folks are spending the day at community pools, watching multiple features at the Magic Johnson Theatre or enjoying the many air conditioned restaurants and drinking establishments uptown.
Or maybe if you’re lucky, you can find an open fire hydrant like this one on 122nd St off Frederick Douglass Blvd and cool down like a kid (or a kid at heart).
If all else fails and you want to find a cooling center near you, call 311 or use the OEM’s online Cooling Center Finder.

It won’t be long now. Good things come to those who wait. The highly anticipated Cedric Bistro which resides in the old “Mojo” space on 119th Street and St. Nicholas is barreling along with construction for a summer grand opening. An inside source at Cedric tells us that it could be as soon as early next month. See my previous post

Reliable sources tell us that the owner of Baby Yogurt is about to sign a lease for one of the commercial spaces in the Gateway Tower on Frederick Douglass 
Boulevard between 113th & 114th Streets. Baby Yogurt offers a variety of flavors of frozen yogurt, created using “Yogorino”, an Italian process that produces a low-calorie, low fat confection that is “healthy enough for a baby” (their motto). A nail salon has already leased the adjacent storefront in the Gateway Tower.
